Fall in love with my best friends brother? CHECK
That's it. That's all I've got. I'm seriously stupid, how could this cliché happen to me. Kooper is my best friend, his older brother though? I have dreams of him.
I shouldn't like her.

Taylor
(Summer 2021)
It was a bold move, a stupid one, and definitely an asshole one. Every year I had Konnor, my son, take a picture on his birthday holding his birth certificate. Why? Well because it was super cute and worked out for us two years in a row and I've come to love it.
I walked away from him after tossing my phone to go inside and grab my things. I just wanted to cuddle my baby. I didn't want to deal with anyone that lied to me. Plus, my aunt getting to leave my apartment early would be amazing for her. I got into the kitchen and grabbed my purse.
"You good?" Kooper asked.
"Fuck off Kooper." I stated. "Mya, I'll call you." She nodded as I slid my shoes on, but before I could head for the door Kieffer came bursting through it.
"Taylor, are you fucking joking with this?" I crossed my arms across my chest and didn't look at him, instead went to grab my phone from his hand but tall asshole held it above his head, out of my reach. "No, this is... What the fuck Taylor?" I shrugged my shoulders and walked out of the house and straight to my truck, he was on my heels the whole time. "Is this some kind of fucking joke?" I spun around and he almost ran into me.
"No Kieffer, it isn't some kind of joke. You know drunk or not there are consequences of having unprotected sex, case and point." I pointed at my phone since he put it above his head again as I went for it.
"What are you talking about?"
"US! I'M TALKING ABOUT US!"
"Taylor, I mean we never..."
"Go ahead and try to lie to me. Twice Kieffer, we've had sex twice. My 21st and your 29th birthdays if you want specific dates. Your birthday two years ago? That's when OUR son was conceived. But you've been hiding the fact that y'all knew my Momma's accident wasn't an accident for longer than that now didn't ya."
"No way in fuckin' hell you get to do that. I know we've slept together twice, the best two nights of my damn life."
"That you've made sure not to mention anything about." I scuffed.
"No, I didn't because I'm not good enough for you. But no way in fuckin' hell do you get to make it seem like what I hid from you was anywhere close to as serious as what you hid from me. We had a child together Taylor! Were you ever gonna tell me?" I shrugged my shoulders. "He has cousins that he could be growing up with, a fuckin' father that wants to be there for him." Tears hit Kieffer's eyes. "And yet your petty ass had to go and throw a picture at me to tell me. Not be an adult and make sure I knew soon as you did. That's fuckin bullshit!" He brought his hands down to his sides and looked around taking a few deep breaths to calm himself. I took that opportunity to take the easy route, I grabbed my phone from his hand and got up in my truck. It took a few cranks but roared to life.
"I'm not asking you for anything Kieffer." He looked up at me eyes red and filled with pain and sorrow. "I've been in love with you since I was 15, Kooper was your first reason, your uncle your most recent I'm guessin'. At some point you might see this the way I did, maybe not, what do I know. But our son is safe, he's happy and healthy, and always has been."
